Food4Tots

Can you imagine a baby at a food bank? We can. Each month, we see more than 250 of our tiniest, most adorable neighbors. Food4Tots makes it possible for us to feed every single one of them.

We’re looking for church congregations, businesses, and any group that is willing to step up to be a Food4Tots sponsor. Each sponsor picks one month and hosts a baby food drive with the goal of collecting 1,000 jars of baby food or $1,000.

“Baby food at the food bank? You guys are heroes.” —Elizabeth, new Mom and food bank client

Milk Money
